Dear Editor,
I must register my concern over the ramblings of the Head of the P residential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon on the USAID project. Since when is this Government so concerned over doing what is right? I am not impressed.
How is it that the US Ambassador is taken to task over getting on with a project that could only mean well for Guyana? Or is it that the project would benefit the wrong people who would be educated on the right things?
How come we are now drawing lines on protocols and sovereignty when the Venezuelans were allowed to get off with a slap on the wrist on what most definitely could be termed ‘gross eye pass’ and very troubling? They poked their fingers in our eyes and all we the Guyanese got was Dr. Luncheon and the subject Minister making excuses for them saying that they had apologised. We never saw the apology and we should be privy to the contents.
The actions of the Venezuelans clearly tampered with our sovereignty. Now we are picking on the US Ambassador.
Old people have a saying that ‘no matta how cockroach drunk, he don’t walk through fowl yard’ – the Venezuelans came in through our back door, walked all over us and nothing said. They are the bullies. Now we are puffing up our collective chest on the Americans for their offing of a project that could only augur well for Guyana and Guyanese.
Dr. Luncheon must realise that even though no child should be left behind, many of us came before and cannot be blindfolded by his lofty, lengthy explanations meant to divert our attention from the real issues.
Please treat us with the same respect, you are foolishly demanding from the American Ambassador.
